Look again. Is {tlhInganpu'} the subject or object of {wIj}?
And you might want to look at that string of suffixes again. I
think you have a typo. If you meant {wIjtaHbogh}, what you
wrote means, "Where on Kronos do you find Klingons who are
being farmed." I might also suggest that {tu'lu'} is more
commonly used than {bolu'}. The proverbs do use second person
sometimes, as we do in English, to indicate an indefinite
subject, but "there are" is more commonly translated {tu'lu'}.
